Free Trial / Money Back Guarantee

There’s a seven-day money back guarantee with this service if you’re not happy with it. If you want to test the SmartDNS service, you can do so by emailing the company and asking for a temporary password, but the VPN service is not included with the basic free trial.

Privacy & Anonymity

This provider does log your IP address, the date and time you connected and the pages you accessed. This company is located in Romania, so it’s not subject to the harshest EU laws regarding data retention but, compared to other providers, that’s quite a lot of logging.

Torrent Policy

This provider does allow torrenting, but their privacy policy makes them less than ideal for this purpose.

Customer Support

Customer support is handled via email. The Contact link on the homepage for Tellypass will take you to the email form. There are detailed setup instructions for supported devices on the homepage, as well.

Product Testing

TellyPass VPN is setup manually, so there’s not much of a product to test. The configuration instructions are given on the homepage.

The SmartDNS service, however, is very slick. Go to their Channels page and you can visit any of the many different
sites they support and stream away. In this regard, this service is really very good.

Windows, Mac OSX, Android, IPhone, etc.

TellyPass does a good job here in providing broad support. Because they onlyhave manual setup options, you can configure their service to work on any device that allows you to setup a PPTP or L2TP connection. There are instructions for Windows, Mac, Ubuntu, Smart TVs, Android and iOS on their site.

TellyPass Speedtest

The speed test was less than impressive with this provider. Using their US server, our download speed was cut
considerably, from over 14Mbps to just under 9Mbps.

Areas for Improvement

There’s a very limited selection of servers and some nations, including the US, only offer PPTP, which is not secure enough for serious use. The lack of a client also takes away from this service.

Conclusion

TellyPass is competitive as a SmartDNS service, but their VPN service is very basic. There’s no client, so this is not a service that beginners will want to use as their first choice. The small network, and the high percentage of servers that only offer PPTP, leave it lacking in terms of security. They log, as well, which is always a drawback.
